Jeremy Clarkson has given his support to Clarkson’s Farm co-star Gerald Cooper’s new venture.
Mr Cooper is fronting The Mullet racehorse syndicate, managed and run by Old Gold Racing, which has been set up to raise awareness and funds for Prostate Cancer UK.
“It was horrific when we learned Gerald [Cooper] had been diagnosed with prostate cancer,” said Mr Clarkson.
“All cancer diagnoses are horrendous – but this place [Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm] wouldn’t even be a tenth of the place it is without Gerald knocking about.”

“It’s a lovely thing to do. Pretty well everyone knows someone who has had cancer of some sort, so please, let’s get behind Gerald and The Mullet, and let’s see if we can do something about this bloody awful disease.”
Ed Seyfried, CEO of Old Gold Racing, said: “We were delighted to see Jeremy Clarkson offer his backing to The Mullet syndicate.
“Anyone who’s watched Clarkson’s Farm will know what an integral part of the team Gerald is at Jeremy’s Diddly Squat Farm, and so it’s heart-warming to see Jeremy lend his support to our newly set-up syndicate for The Mullet.
“At Old Gold Racing, we know what joy racehorse ownership can bring and we’re proud to be running The Mullet syndicate in aid of Prostate Cancer UK.
